I'm getting itchy waiting for the frame to come back from powder coating, so I'm concocting small tasks to keep me busy. Today's lunchtime faff was making the Oury grips work with the bar end shifter. It worked out pretty nicely if you ask me.
I'm planning to run the gear cable under the grip in line with one of the grooves. The rubber is thinner there, naturally, so hopefully the lump created won't be too bad.
Side note - isn't it cool that Velo Orange made the Klunker bars to work with bar ends? They don't even seem to mention it in the listing anymore, but still... very thoughtful.
I was wondering about this aspect. Didn't fancy a Paul Thumbie adapter? I don't think they actually make them anymore but pretty sure someone else does.
